The Craigslist Killer & the Aftermath We All Live With

This episode isn’t about shock value, it’s about what stays in our brains after the headline.

Using the Craigslist Killer case as context, I talk about intuition, silence, politeness, and the everyday ways people ignore their gut just to keep things “cool.” We get into the psychological aftermath, and how the same nervous system responses show up in real life, and why listening to yourself matters more than being agreeable.

This isn’t anti-men, and it’s not about fear.

It’s about awareness, permission, and trusting your body.

As always — real talk with no judgement.
